Requested by korobkov

Propose an instance with only MySQL at a even better price

SSL for S-size Simple Hosting Instances

5%

Requested by Pete S.

Currently SSL is only available for M-sized Simple Hosting instances and larger. It would be great if S-sized instances could also use SSL.

The ability to use Composer on simple hosting - fx. to install drush, for drupal.

JBoss AS7, with separate services available for each of AS7's 'domain' and 'standalone' modes

Requested by R03land

A simple and cheaper hosting just for static files.

Requested by hankf

Drush Support

2%

Everything is in the title. Py3k FTW !

bower, gulp, grunt & co. on PHP instances

2%

Requested by Daniel

Compiling front-end assets using tools like less, sass, bower, gulp, grunt and similar tools has become an essential part of developing modern web applications. It'd be great if these tools were available/could be installed on PHP instances.

Customize Apache log format

1%

Requested by hank

The ability to customize the Apache log format using any of the supported Apache directives (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_log_config.html), including %{Referer}i and %{UserAgent}i.

GeoIP for PHP

1%

Requested by Brauch

Add the GeoIP PECL extension for PHP.

g++ and cgi-bin

1%

Requested by Tom A.

My web site uses my own compiled C++ executables in a cgi-bin directory. The Linux server I'm on has gcc and all the usual development libraries installed, so it's simple for me to login via ssh and compile my code on the server. If that were possible in Simple Hosting I could migrate to Gandi right away.

git submodules

1%

Requested by lexoyo

We need git submodules to be able to push "real world" project

Default SNI certificate like shared hosts

1%

Requested by MarkXS

Most shared hosts have a default SNI cert (see DreamHost as an example) which is presented to browsers on HTTP's requests if the browser does not have SNI support. Those include all Android 2.3 (still for sale) browsers, all Java 1.6x, all WinXP IE. Though Simple Hosting is not shared hosting, it is shared IP address. Thus the problem arises that those browsers/programs cannot reach a secure Simple Hosting site at all. Whereas at other hosts, for example again DH, a browse to https site gets a certificate response from what they call their SNI certificate. it's really their default certificate which only non-SNI clients get. That at least triggers the browser's wrong-cert warning with the user having the option to continue.
Yes a risk, and "not the right security approach", but their are valid use case's where this is safe. Example: I know the site is hosted at Gandi , I am rarely using an oler Android or Windows device, I can make an informed decision to proceed despite the very mismatch, and I want to connect securely. Gandi Simple Hosting currently doesn't let that connection happen because you don't present a default certificate. Until and unless you start selling a fixed IP address option for Simple Hosting, there is a valid reason to allow this.

rsync

1%

Requested by omar

Be able to use rsync on the simplehosting server for manual backups.

Python and PHP

1%

Requested by Andrea

A unique instance that let you run both Python and PHP web applications together.

Automated app install

1%

Requested by SusieQ

Automated app installs would be a nice feature (Wordpress, Drupal, Joomla, etc). I think this would be a good selling point for potential Gandi users that would just like to get up and go and would make my life a hair bit easier.

OpenVPN

1%

Requested by axpdreamer

would be nice to have a PaaS with working OpenVPN

Please consider installing Midnight Commander for SSH use

1%

Requested by PS

Midnight Commander makes it much faster to do file and directory management (such as organizing files and directory structure), checking filesystem permissions, etc. Through the built-in editor (mcedit) it's also a great way to make last-minute minor changes to files such as .htaccess without the need to transfer them back and forth.
% apt-get install mc

Dedicated IP address option

1%

Requested by MarkXS

Allow assigning a fixed IPv4 address for a fee, similar cost as what shared hosts do. Especially important for SSL with the still-large number of Android 2.3 devices, which do not support SNI. Also for the out-of-support but still legion WinXP/IE8 base. But Android 2.3 low end devices are still being sold mid-2014 especially outside USA, and a Handing simple hosting secure site is totally inaccessible to them with Android browser, Chrome, Dolphin, Opera, because you don't even support a default SNI very to allow for the wrong-certificate error page warning to appear.

node.js bootstrap

1%

Requested by lexoyo

Node.js applications are run with "node server.js" command. The convention is to have a config file at the project root to specify what file to run, These files could be a good convention:
* gandi.yml
* Procfile (use forman)
* package.json (npm)

ssh key

1%

Requested by davidonet

record my public ssh key somewhere with git server so I can push and deploy with git more easily

Databases outside of the instance

1%

Requested by Apercu

Would be awesome to access databases of any kind (Mongo, Mysql...) outside of an instance with a simple uri like already in place with Git or SSH.
Really miss it for local dev work or tests.

PECL uploadprogress library

1%

Requested by Morten

The possibility to use PECL upload progress library as a shared php extension.

Python virtualenv

Continuous Integration

It would be great if we could have Jenkins or an equivalent CI environment running on the simple host.

Python 3

1%

Requested by Toksyuryel

The option to use Python 3 instead of Python 2 would be greatly appreciated (leave the option to use Python 2 in as well, of course!)

Apache PageSpeed Module (by Google)

1%

Requested by Peter

I would really like if this Apache module would be installed.
It would improve this hosting offer! We already have great caching, combined with the right content, it would be a blast!
Those guys already thought of your problem 'how to configure this with varnish?'.

Apache Tomcat 6.0 ,Mysql 5

Cherokee

1%

Requested by iane

It would be nice to be able to choose Cherokee over Apache. Or some other better performing web server, if that's not compatible.

Dart:io

1%

Requested by zoon

Dart (https://www.dartlang.org/) is getting serious server side.
It now has connectors for Mysql, Postgres, MongoDB.
It is a serious contender to Node.js, so please consider it.
